Sam Merrill's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (quadriceps) will play on Monday against Utah. A quadriceps injury limited Merrill to only eight minutes of action last time out against Philadelphia, but he's been cleared for action after carrying a questionable tag entering Monday. Merrill will make his second start of the campaign, filling in for Dean Wade (knee). He's been logging 20 minutes regularly thus far but might have to settle for a lesser role once Max Strus finds his feet.

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Sam Merrill (ankle) will be back in the lineup as a starter on Tuesday against Boston. He's been sidelined for three games with ankle inflammation. Merrill makes his return at a good time because the Cavaliers have lost some rotational pieces for Tuesday's game. This should guarantee him plenty of playing time. The 28-year-old has averaged 6.8 points in 19.7 minutes this season but might get past the 25-minute mark on Tuesday, with Caris LeVert (knee) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) missing.

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Sam Merrill (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics due to a left ankle injury. He has been sidelined for the last three games because of inflammation in his left ankle, but he could return against the defending champs. In the meantime, Craig Porter has stepped up in Merrill's absence over the last three games. Merrill will likely not be a significant contributor in fantasy if he is available to suit up.
